The #Republican controlled #House voted Thurs to #censure Rep #AlGreen (D-Texas) for disrupting #Trump’s *address to #Congress* on Tues.

The resolution to censure Green, introduced by Rep #DanNewhouse (R-Washington), accuses Green of "a breach of proper conduct.”

Green, in a social media post shared Thurs morning, said he was being punished for “standing up to President Trump.”
